[3449] My dearest Charlotte.
I got a letter from Mrs Paulet this morning telling me she had seen you so now I believe you are there tho' I am still puzzled to death at yr neglect — I wrote to you twice after leaving L-pool & have heard nothing of you now my dear I am not an angel but a deal more of a wild cat & I'll scratch you if I can't beat you
[3449 reverse] this is to say that I expect you will pass a day with me on yr way to Leeds— Mrs Paulet tells me gives me an account of Miss Cooke [Eliza Cook?] wh makes me really wish to see her on my own account out of no regard to you for I am in the devils own temper with you & I don't see any likelihood of its mending. Understand
[3450] that if you do not come— to see me you need not give yr self the trouble to give me either reasons or excuses— Make my kind regards to Miss Cooke & compliments to all the Muspratts ever yrs—if you behave decently
G. E. J
Miss Cooke wd think me very good if she cd believe that another person might love you [illegible crossed out] as well as she does.
[3450 reverse] but you have pained me more by yr silence than you at all know
